No, it's not masterpoint (You don't expect event 1 winner to have that little right? B-) ). It's seeding points. -If you get m masterpoint in event n-k (n=8 this time), then you get m*(1-0.1*(k-1)) seeding points. For example, each masterpoint in event 4 (k=4) is converted to 0.7 seeding point in event 8. -If you have non-zero second decimal digit, that means you have same amount of seeding points with some other players (in all players' pool, not necessarily register in this event), and I assigned 0.00-0.04 points adjustment (only for this event) base on 1. The amount of points you earned in the most recent event you play 2. Your performance in that event.

I'm in.

OK I'll put my thought here. # of players for KO stage 2 to the integer power, this one is obvious. # of players for RR stage If we have 8n or 4n entrants, the RR set up will be extremely easy. Just make it 8 or 4 group of n players, each group advance 2^m (<n) players into KO stage. For example, 44 players=>4 group of 11, 8 players advance from each group and we have 32 players to play KO 56 players=>8 group of 7, 4 players advance from each group and we have 32 players to play KO 36 players=>4 group of 9, 8 players advance from each group and we have 32 players to play KO Qualifying Knockout Therefore # of people we need to cut down in Q round is no more than 7. Suppose we need to cut down p (<=7) people, we can let the bottom 4p or 8p seeded players play p sets of "reverse KO" (i.e. losing player move to next round, only the player lose every game is KO) For examples 59 players=> need to eliminate 3 players => bottom 24 seeds play 3 sets of "8 adv. 7 reverse KO" 2^t advance 2^t-1 reverse KO t rounds of KO will be played, if you win any match, you advance to RR stage, if you lose/decide to not play/no response then you play the next day (if not the last day). Each match should be very short I recommend 64/2^t boards per round and must be completed within 24*max(1,4-t) hours. Example 61 players enter Top 21 seeds get byes to RR. The other 40 players play 5 sets of "8 adv. 7 reverse KO" Day 1: If you don't have bye, you play a 8 boards match with an opponent. 20 winners Q, other 20 players play Day2. Day 2: Similar to Day 1, 10 winners Q, 10 players play Day3. Day 3: Similar to Day 1&2, 5 winners Q, 5 players who lose all matches are eliminated (56 left). Day 4: We can start RR with 56 people, we'll form 8 group of 7, 4 players advance from each group and therefore we have 32 players left to play KO 1 week from Day 4: we can start KO. The organization of the remaining tournament should be straight forward. Inactive Players In KO stage, any inactive player is eliminated from the tournament. In reverse KO stage, inactive player is consider losing (and therefore play the next day), if both are inactive, the lower seeded player is consider losing. In RR stage complete vs. non-complete: The person who fail to complete the match gets 0VP, the other person gets +3IMP for each non-complete board (and converted to VP as usual). non-complete vs. non-complete: 0VP: 0VP

Withdraw, busier than I expect.

Withdraw, busier than I expect

Alright count me in.

Alright I'll still confirm I'm in even though Ovunc default me to be in this event.

The real problem with MP is that...so many ties.

Should be 2:6 :rolleyes:

Sure, will do it soon. Play 8 boards match, same rule(MP, non-best), if this one is still a draw, repeat the 8 boards match until it's not a draw.

Now people in semifinal can start! phil vs. cherdano stoppiello vs. sieong

It should be 9.5bds-6.5bds base on the link you post.

Where is everyone in R8 (QF)?

You're already in R8 (QF)

kfitz vs. kubiresmo any result?

lol good luck for both of you.

jeffford76 vs. nige1 has 1 match left to play. brigimon vs. kubiresmo has 1 match left to play, and please post the link to hand record of the first 3 matches.

I'll let R16 start now, for people who already know the opponent (look at score board). Please finish and report ASAP if you haven't finished R32.

Jordanova posted the score twice previously, I've edited it and please double check the score is correct now.
